Obama Is Said to Consider Preventive Detention Plan (Flush the Constitution!)
NY Slimes (Page A18!!!) ^ | 5/21/2009 | SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

WASHINGTON — President Obama told human rights advocates at the White House on Wednesday that he was mulling the need for a “preventive detention” system that would establish a legal basis for the United States to incarcerate terrorism suspects who are deemed a threat to national security but cannot be tried, two participants in the private session said.

The discussion, in a 90-minute meeting in the Cabinet Room that included Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and other top administration officials, came on the eve of a much-anticipated speech Mr. Obama is to give Thursday on a number of thorny national security matters, including his promise to close the detention center at the naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Human rights advocates are growing deeply uneasy with Mr. Obama’s stance on these issues, especially his recent move to block the release of photographs showing abuse of detainees, and his announcement that he is willing to try terrorism suspects in military commissions — a concept he criticized bitterly as a presidential candidate.

So he wants American Citizens rights for Muslim Terrorist's caught in the act of war against America, so he wants to close Gitmo.

But then he wants to open Gitmo’s across the land to incarcerate American Citizens, so that they no longer have the rights he wants for Muslims, but wants Americans that he decides are a threat to his Government to have the same rights as Muslim terrorists caught in the act of war.

This is exactly the surrender terms I would expect had we lost the war with Islam.

Ie, Barack Hussain Obama is most likely a Muslim, and we lost the war by a coup engineered by the Democratic party, with their payoff being that they would be allowed to rape the banks as the country fell.

Is there something wrong with my line of thought? Because I cannot see it.

Obama is a Nazi piece of dogsh*t for even considering this. He’s not doing it to go after muslim terrorists; he’s doing this to go after all of the Right.
____________
Let him try it. I think the right is ready and so are the right troops.

Will Bill Ayers get the gulags he’s always wanted for Conservatives?

Never in a million years. If it gets to that point Ayers better get the hell out of dodge. I would venture to guess he’s on nearly everyone’s sh*t list.

I forgot the part of the Geneva Conventions where it affords protection to terrorists.

It's there...somewhere...but you have to look really hard to find it.

PREVENTATIVE DETENTION: All those who would vote against ‘me’, must be imprisoned.
